Telephone Sales From Traveling Salesmen On Cell Phones
May 31, 2008
Have you ever sat in the lobby of a hotel and listened to a salesman on his cell phone making calls and setting up appointments for the next day? Sure we all have heard people announcing their arrivals, departures, delays and ETAs, but what about when a salesman is in the lobby of a five star and simply is attempting to close the sale and make an appointment? A little tacky isnt it? Well it can get worse than that.
Recently I was in the lobby and over heard some interesting details of a business deal going down and it involved a competitor of a personal friend who runs a rather large Corporation right now. So, I moved in closer and sat down, took notes and when this sales guy, I presume got off the phone. He smiled to himself and said; YES!
But unfortunately for me, he made the biggest error of all, he blasted important information out in public and I forwarded this information to my friend and well, lets just say there were some embarrassed business people who were beat to the punch by two-days in the media release of what was suppose to be a block buster new high-tech personal device. Consider all this in 2006.
